The Wikileaks email dump has exploded and is seriously damaging the Democrat party right as their convention begins!! The biggest victim so far is DNC Chair Debbsters Whats-her-face Schultz, whose big speech at the convention has been CANCELED!!
That’s pretty awesome:
The head of the Democratic National Committee will not speak at the party’s convention next week, a decision reached by party officials Saturday after emails surfaced that raised questions about the committee’s impartiality during the Democratic primary.
Debbie Wasserman Schultz, whose stewardship of the DNC has been under fire through most of the presidential primary process, will not have a major speaking role in an effort “to keep the peace” in the party, a Democrat familiar with the decision said. The revelation comes following the release of nearly 20,000 emails
One email appears to show DNC staffers asking how they can reference Bernie Sanders’ faith to weaken him in the eyes of Southern voters. Another seems to depict an attorney advising the committee on how to defend Hillary Clinton against an accusation by the Sanders campaign of not living up to a joint fundraising agreement.
Wasserman Schultz is expected to gavel the convention in and out, but not speak in the wake of the controversy surrounding the leaked emails, a top Democrat said.
“She’s been quarantined,” another top Democrat said, following a meeting Saturday night.
LOL! “Quarantined” like some kind of communicable disease!!
National Democrats tried to smooth over the bitterness. DNC vice chairwoman Donna Brazile had dropped in on the meeting of Sanders-aligned Rules Committee members and apologized for how the emails came out.
“She got applause from all of the Bernie rules committee delegates,” said Rules Committee member Anthony Iarrapino, who supports Sanders.
Clearly they’re trying to head off the controversy before it flares up into an enormous political conflagration:
Bernie Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver said his team was “disappointed” by the emails from the Democratic National Committee leaked through WikiLeaks, which seemed to reveal staff in the party working to support Hillary Clinton.
“Someone does have to be held accountable,” Weaver said during an interview with ABC News. “We spent 48 hours of public attention worrying about who in the [Donald] Trump campaign was going to be held responsible for the fact that some lines of Mrs. Obama’s speech were taken by Mrs. Trump. Someone in the DNC needs to be held at least as accountable as the Trump campaign.”
Weaver said the emails showed misconduct at the highest level of the staff within the party and that he believed there would be more emails leaked, which would “reinforce” that the party had “its fingers on the scale.”
“Everybody is disappointed that much of what we felt was happening at the DNC was in fact happening, that you had in this case a clear example of the DNC taking sides and looking to place negative information into the political process.”
And you can be that el Trumpo is going to continue to try to fan the flames because it helps his campaign.
Try to ignore that all of this is as a result of what many believe is a subversive secret Russian operation, and that Paul Manafort represented the Russians, and also that Trump loves Putin and finally that he just said if he’s elected he’d let Putin invade whomever he wanted. That’s all one YUGE coincidence, I swear!!
